How to Schnickschnack in Germany

Gray Label grows like crazy in Germany. Which means we should pay visits more often, shouldn’t we! A few of our highly appreciated German retailers gave us advise: where to go and what to do…

Cologne - Köln

Lisa and Alex are the proud owners of Mini Tikki, a childrens concept store in Cologne.

They also just started a webshop: www.minitikki.de.

To stay: one of the most prettiest location to sleep in Cologne.

To eat: a tasty pizza restaurant 485 grad.

To visit: Super cool experience with kids: the Lindt chocolate museum at the harbour.

To shop: the Belgium quarter with many pretty boutiques like “Schee” for interior stuff and cool prints.

To eat: Friedrich Fett – Tour caterer from a Germany hip hop band – cool location, brillant and down to earth cusine and Off Club – a Tim Mälzer restaurant (Tim Mälzer learned toghether with Jamie Oliver so a bit the same cooking style), very relaxed, brillant service, fantastic food.

To visit: Hafencity – already now but also when the new concert hall is will be ready and Blankenese – the stair quarters – a bit like Övelgönne nestle in the hill – here ‘s also a very nice café – Luhmans – for a brunch on a Sunday. Blankeneser Landstrasse 29.

To shop: Sternschanze - for more independent shops & modern layout/assortment and Barnbarn (in the area of Othmarschen) of course J.

Berlin

(Greta + Bjørn) Kathi is the proud owner of Greta + Bjørn, a children ́s concept store in Prenzlauer Berg (you can find the webshop).

(Prenzaluer Berg)

To eat: Akemi at Kollwitzplatz in Prenzlauer Berg

To shop: You have to check out Victoria met Albert and all the lovely Schnickschnack (that’s a German word for items you don ́t actually need, but somehow still do - you will understand after your visit).
